OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton's 11-game win streak came to an end over the weekend at Wichita State, but it wasn't enough to keep the Bluejay basketball program from a spot in the national polls this week.

Creighton dropped two spots to 12th in this week’s USA Today Top 25 Coaches poll, down from last week’s season-best 10th slot. In the Associated Press poll that Creighton uses, the Jays are 17th in this week’s poll, down five spots. Creighton’s best AP ranking this year was 11th on Nov. 26th.

Creighton has now been ranked in the top 17 by both groups in each of the first 12 polls of the season, and been ranked in the top-25 of 15 straight overall polls dating to late last season.

Creighton has now been ranked in the AP poll during 24 of Greg McDermott's 49 weeks at the helm, not to mention five other weeks where it's been 26th, 27th or 28th. The 24 weeks in the poll are most of any Creighton basketball coach in history.

Statistically, Creighton ranks among the nation’s top-13 in nine different categories through games of Jan. 20th. The Jays lead the nation with 9.6 three-pointers per game while also ranking first with 45.2 percent marksmanship from three-point range, while also ranking first in field goal percentage (.518). Creighton’s also fourth in assists per game (18.1), sixth in assist/turnover ratio (1.50), seventh in win percentage (.895), 10th in total points (1,500), 12th in scoring offense (78.9) and 13th in scoring margin (16.6). The only team to ever finish a season leading the nation in both 3-pointers per game and 3-point percentage was Princeton in 1987-88., while the only team to ever lead the nation in both field goal percentage and three-point percentage was Northern Arizona 1998-99.

Individually, Doug McDermott
is second in points per game (24.1), 28th in field goal percentage
(.565), 48th in free-throw percentage (.866) and and 180th in rebounds
